We have been blessed to have some wonderful young men and women
\nrepresent Faith Christian School and the Lord Jesus Christ this fall on the
\ncourt or field. Here is a brief snapshot of the season from the coach or
\nplayer\u2019s perspective. <\/p>\n

Varsity Boys Soccer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>The 2011 season was a tremendous season for the Faith Varsity Soccer team. The team\u2019s final record was 10-5-1 with four of the losses coming by only one point. The season had several ups and downs as players struggled with injuries, with teamwork, and with consistency. Throughout some of the struggles, the guys learned some extremely valuable lessons including the importance of unity as a team, the necessity of hard work on and off the field, and that representing Christ is more important than winning. A string of losses during the middle of the season caused many on the team to doubt the team and themselves; but thanks to good leadership from many of the seniors and others on the team, the team was able to regain its focus and come out even stronger by the end of the season. The team finished out its season with consecutive wins against a very tough Western Boone team and against Covington High school. These victories clinched the Covington Invitational championship. Coach Johns states that he will fondly remember all of his seniors from this season and is also very proud of his guys for the great testimony\u00a0 they displayed throughout the second half of the season. The team would like to thank all the parents and fans that gave them great support throughout the year. \u2013 Kevin Johns (Varsity Coach)<\/p>\n

Varsity Girls Soccer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cLove never fails.\u201d This familiar verse from 1 Corinthians 13 was the theme for the 2011 FCS girls\u2019 varsity soccer team. This season we learned about really loving our team and sacrificing comfort and energy in order to play to the best of ourspecific abilities. Coach Nekvasil and Debbie Ussery encouraged us to put aside our own selfish desires and think about the team as a whole instead of just ourselves. This year also brought us four victories \u2013 a great accomplishment for a second-year team. The 2011 season was an overall success for the girl\u2019s soccer team! \u2013 Emily Wetzel (Senior Soccer Player)<\/p>\n

Cross Country<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>The cross country season started out a little rough this year, but we had a great group of runners\u00a0and were\u00a0able to do well as a team this year. With 11 senior high guys and 3 senior high girls, our team was bigger this year than it has ever been. It was also encouraging to see how well we did this year\u00a0in being unified as a team. Our theme this year was “Being Sold Out”, whether to our practice, our team, our personal bests, our school work, our parents, or\u00a0anything else. This year was a great year with the amount of talent that we had on the team. Everyone\u00a0worked hard at consistently getting better and shaving time off their record. While this year was great, I think that next year has the potential to be even better.<\/p>\n

Aside from the athletic part of Cross Country, our team also did a good job challenging each other spiritually,\u00a0with our schoolwork, and just trying to stay consistent in everything. It has been a privilege to run with such a great group of friends. I speak for the entire team in saying that we all really appreciate the great job Mrs. McAllister did coaching us this year. She\u00a0encouraged\u00a0us and motivated us as we ran. She also did a great job in having a dedicated time at least once a week to have a team\u00a0devotional.\u00a0While we wanted to run well and win, ultimately our focus needed to be on God.\u00a0That was our goal this year.\u00a0 Even if we didn’t run well or place well as a team, we were always trying to be a light to the other athletes for our school and Christ. \u2013 Noah Hadley (Junior Cross Country Runner)<\/p>\n

Varsity Volleyball<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We had the opportunity to live out our theme \u201cMake Life Meaningful\u201d in several ways– win or lose.<\/p>\n<\/div> The 2011 girls\u2019 varsity volleyball season kicked off in the heat of August. We shaped our team with 11 girls committed to making the season \u201cmeaningful\u201d. Often the coach and team had to answer the question \u201cWhy did\u00a0we lose?\u201d\u00a0 To the casual bystander,\u00a0the numbers on the scoreboard\u00a0is the definite statement of winning or losing. We often cannot be led to measure success by the number of wins, and that was the case this year. We had the opportunity to live out our theme \u201cMake Life Meaningful\u201d in several ways– win or lose. We had many opportunities to pray with non-believing schools and moments to shine the light of Christ when we served together at the homeless shelter. We concentrated not\u00a0on being a\u00a0winning team, but\u00a0on being a team that could compete. This season we went through many bumps in the road mentally and physically. I was proud of the girls in the way they responded to the \u201cbumps\u201d and how we adjusted as a team unit. Overall, our season was up and down, but we learned the importance of being a constant team that was ready to compete wholeheartedly in every situation.- Trent Herron (Varsity Coach)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
